    The document describes a question from a past exam that asks students to calculate the maximum possible pressure on a rectangular floor given the dimensions of the floor to the nearest 0.1 meters and a force of 225 Newtons applied to it rounded to the nearest 5 Newtons. It provides the formula for calculating pressure and shows the worked out steps of finding the minimum possible area using the lower bounds of the dimensions and the maximum possible force to get an upper bound pressure of 38.81 N/m^2.

    1 The dimensions of a rectangular floor are to


    the nearest 0.1 metres.
    Not drawn
    accurately
    1.8 m

    3.4 m
    A force of 225 Newtons is applied to the floor.
    The force is to the nearest 5 Newtons.

    force
    pressure = ________
    area

    Work out the upper bound of the pressure.


    Give your answer to 4 significant figures.
    You must show your working. [5 marks]

    Max. Force: 222.5 225 < 227.5


    Rec. Length: 3.35 3.4 < 3.45
    : 1.75 1.8 < 1.85
    Min. Area: 3.35 × 1.75 = 5.8625

    Answer 38.81 N/m2
